obama early voting in ohio. she running ahead but he running something like 180,000 votes behind what he did the last time out and republicans are running 70,000 ahead. that is 250,000 votes that would make up the difference that was obama's victory. i think both sides are probably correct. i don't think some of these pollsters are fixing the polls, but i do believe are weights in terms of what happened in 2008 which was an aberrational year. it looked to me mike romney was closing deal in florida and north carolina before the hurricane and beginning to close in virginia. ohio was still the difficult uphill battle. that may be the case right now. i think there may be honesty on both sides. we'll find out because there is a profound disagreement. >> you bring up the hurricane. 21 states have been impacted by sandy. it reminds me of a tennis match where there is a rain delay. when they come back out to the court, the momentum shifts. has that happed? >> i use another metaphor, tom, it's indianapolis. when i was ki
